    Kaplan qbank scores made me nervous!

    ER(notso)n00b replied to Susu14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had about 20, and I didn't think they were as hard as Kaplan SATA. I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard that the more SATA you get, the better you're doing. Everybody I know who passed...

    Kaplan qbank scores made me nervous!

    ER(notso)n00b replied to Susu14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it Friday - the computer shut off at 75 and I got the good pop up. Like you, I graduated with a high gpa (3.9) and got a 99% chance on exit ATI. I took Kaplan and only finished about 70% of...

    Thank you! I briefly wondered if I was insane for taking the next appointment, but I'm so glad I did. The stress and waiting is finally over so it was well worth

    How frequently is the NCLEX offered?

    ER(notso)n00b replied to RunBabyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are a lot of appointments for NCLEX, but they are usually booked up 4-6 weeks out. BUT people cancel and reschedule all the time so it's possible to grab one of those appointments up - that's...

    How do I become a successful ER Nurse?

    ER(notso)n00b replied to thywillbedone_'s topic in General Students

    If you know you want to do ER, try to get as much experience as you can there while you're still in school. Let your instructors know that's where you would like to end up. Request a spot in the ER...

    ER(notso)n00b replied to ER(notso)n00b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know what you mean about not finding motivation to study through all of this. It's so hard to focus on the goal when there's no finish line in sight. There was an article in the L.A. Times the...

    I'm doing Kaplan as well. I graduated 12/18/13 and am still waiting on my ATT. I guess the holidays slowed everything down; my school is sending transcripts to the BRN sometime next week. I like...

    From what I have heard, they are now going to accept 40 students each semester and 75% are coming from the new point system. With a 4.0, your chances are probably very good of getting in quickly as...

    ER(notso)n00b replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Several people from my class carpooled to clinicals, and as far as I know there weren't any problems. We were allowed to request clinical groups to make carpooling easier. I never did, but I like to...

    Where do you all get textbooks from

    ER(notso)n00b replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    TNCC as a student nurse?

    ER(notso)n00b replied to jglover4168's topic in General Students

    I've heard from several CC hiring managers that it shows initiative and makes you stand out from the bunch. ACLS is pretty much mandatory if you want to apply for ED or ICU where I live. The ED I...
